Chilean Coast Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chilean Coast Range (Spanish: Cordillera de la Costa) is a mountain range that runs southward parallel with the Andean Mountains, from the morro de Arica to the Taitao Peninsula where it ends together with the Nazca Plate.
The highest peak of the range is the Altos de Cantillana reaching up to 2.318 m.
Even if its origin is unknown, it is well accepted between geologists that it is older than the Andes. The Chilean Coast Range does not show any sign of volcanic activity.
